v T R IA L B O T C H E R ? R egarding Peter Freyne’s cover age o n th e Billy G reer trial [Inside Track, Ju n e 18] John Baker the ju ro r has probably ruined th e ver dict on th e hashish trial due to his b ro th ers involvem ent w ith snitch M ichael Johnson. H e felt com pelled to share this w ith the o th er jurors, b u t n o t the judge. It’s up to the co u rt to decide w hether this w ould affect his ability to decide on a ver dict. O bviously he has a problem w ith D r. M elam ede, an ou tstan d in g advocate on hem p. H e thinks Dr. M elam ede “clowned?” Because he has an in dom initable spirit, that m akes him a clown? Judge Sessions needs to talk to this m an. H e obvi ously does have a strong o p inion against M r. Greer. It should have n o t rem ained a secret to the lawyers and judge for 10 weeks. — W o lf Stevenson Starksboro

T R U T H A N D JU S T IC E ? I am shocked and dism ayed to read Seven Days, June 18th edition. In regards to ju ro r John Baker o f Essex Jet. confirm ing he is the brother o f a m an identified by inform ant M ichael Jon n so n (in the 10-week hashish trial) o f having d one an $8000 d rug deal w ith one o f the co-defendants in early to m id 1980s, it looks like this was an o p p o rtu n ity to “get back” on his b ro th e rs behalf. Give me a break! H e told the o th er jurors b u t n o t H is H o n o r o r any o f the lawyers. D id the prosecution know this fact? H ow can you have a just or im p ar tial verdict w ith John Baker on the jury? Answers, any one? H u m an lives are shattered over this horible mess. W here the hell are tru th and justice? You just w ait till Judge Sessions recovers! — Ellen R aym ond Starksboro

L ESSO N S O F Z O O T Last Sunday I atten d ed a m em orial service in h on o r o f my stepbrother, Rick (Zoot) W ilson, a wellknow n m usician in the B urlington area. A m ong the m any bands he had played for were T h e Enzones and T h e Fabulous D ogtones. I w anted to speak ab o u t R ick at the service, b u t I was so choked up over his death th at I never w ould have been able to finish speaking. I haven’t seen Rick in 20 years, so one m ight w onder w hy I was so senti

m ental. It is because while grow ing up together during m y early teenage years, Rick had profoundly influ enced me. H e was to m e the essence o f the countercul ture m ovem ent. H e was th e hippest o f the hip, the coolest o f the cool. O f course I im itated him . I grew m y hair long, listened to D erek and the D om inoes, and drew cartoons (copying his). Rick tau g h t m e to question authority, to lam poon arrogant and pretentious people, and he taught me how to play th e guitar. I sm oked my first jo in t w ith Rick. I f there were any festivities going on, Rick was sure to be found right in the m iddle o f them . H e was deeply involved in the m usic culture and all its trap pings. O n e o f those trappings was, regrettably, heroin. I m et m any o f Rick’s friends at the m em orial ser vice. It was clear th at these were very dear friends. T h e musical perform ances and the words they offered were the m ost poignant and deeply m oving sentim ents I’ve ever experienced. T h e m ood o f the audience lightened further into the service w hen people began relating am using m isadventures-of-the-band stories. T h e n a friend o f Rick’s rose to speak. W h a t he had to say struck me. H e spoke o f heroin. H e urged people in the audience to confront the hard d rug traffickers in their com m unity. But m any o f us im bibers and tokers have a hard tim e w ith this proposition. W e sort o f look the oth er way w hen heroin use goes on in o u r m idst. W e d o n ’t really condone it, nor do we condem n it. It w ould be hypocritical to com e dow n on the hard addictive drugs. A nd it w ouldn’t be very hip or cool to becom e too critical o f drugs, like W illiam B ennett, or N ancy Reagan, or the w ar-on-drugs police. Well, p u t me dow n as unhip, uncool. I’ve seen enough. H eroin is good only for lining the pockets o f greedy, corrupt, uncaring people, while it causes pain and misery for users, and grief and heartache for their loved ones. I loved Rick. Rick taught m e another thing in m y youth: how deplorable violence is. Z o o t W ilson co m m itted suicide Friday, June 13, 1997. H e was 44 years old. — S tephen D aniels Syracuse, N ew York R E M E M B E R IN G Z O O T I can’t believe Z o o t W ilson is dead. T hose h o t nights at H u n t’s and Julie’s w hen we boogied till o u r heads caved in are gone forever. H ow Z o o t could get the crow d hopping! W h a t a subtle genius he was. M aster o f understatem ent; always just holding back the grin th at you knew was ju st ab o u t to take over his face. I’ve never heard any m usician since w ho under stood the h u m o r and energy o f R& B as did Z oot. H e took a little o f m e w ith him w hen he left. Z oot, as the song w ent, “w hen I dim the lights, in m y room tonight, teardrops will fall.” — C ro ck er B en n ett H inesburg

More than two years after agents of the fed eral Drug Enforcement Administration staged a i middle-of-the-night raid on the home of former Windsor County State Sen. Will Hunter, the feds have finally brought charges against him. On Monday, Will the Rhodes Scholar entered 10 not-guilty pleas to mail fraud and one notguilty plea to bankruptcy fraud. But guess what? No drug charges. W hat’s up? To Hunter’s wife, April Hensel, it’s a crystalclear case of the government trying to save face. She’s written Janet Reno to complain. According to an Inside Track source, the decision not to charge Will the Rhodes Scholar with any money-laundering or drug-related offenses was one made at the Department of Justice level. That would help explain the delay in bringing charges. After all, this has been one high-profile case. It’s already made the CBS “Evening News with Dan Rather.” Asked about the role of D.C. higher-ups, U.S. Attorney Charles Tetzlaff, told Inside Track, “I take full responsibility for the charges we bring or do not bring.” Mr. Tetzlaff may take full responsibility, but his statement does leave the door ajar as far as Washington’s involvement in the case of Will the Rhodes Scholar goes. The Hunter prosecution is taking place on the watch of James Bradley, the “charming” and “chatty” head of the DEA in Vermont. That’s how he was described in the Sept. 2, 1995 edition of The Spectator maga zine. The suave and sophisticat ed DEA baby boomer cut his teeth in the great drug war in the early 1970s with the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs, the forerunner of the DEA. He’s since worked his way up the ranks and came to Vermont in 1994 after five years stationed at DEA H.Q. in Washington. The Spectator reported Bradley considered Ms. Hensel to be “some kinda flake.” As for her letter to Attorney General Janet Reno that received no response, Bradley quipped, “If someone in England wrote to the Queen, would they get a reply?” Unfortunately, Bradley isn’t very chatty with the local press. He referred all questions about Will the Rhodes Scholar to Charlie Tetzlaff. Monday Judge William Sessions III pen ciled August 18 in as opening day for the trial of William A. Hunter IV. (Can I get a fifth?) But Hunter’s attorney, Peter Hall, indicated at the arraignment Monday that he was represent ing Will the Rhodes Scholar “for the arraign ment only.” Hunter said he’ll have a new attor ney in 10 days. Sounds like Hall doesn’t want to defend Hunter on a pro bono basis. The Spectator reported Hunter was raking in only about $20,000 a year, and that was before the Professional Conduct Board suspended his license to practice law. Can you say “Will Hunter Defense Fund?” Prosecuting the Hunter case is Assistant U.S. Attorney Paul Van de Graaf. This will be the second scalp of an ex-Vermont legislator he’s sought. The first was Brian Burns, the former rep from Burlap who rose to Lite-Gov, who similarly was nailed on fraud charges. Van de Graaf builds a case like a master carpenter — every nail in its proper place. He loves all the little details. And once this prosecutorial pit bull wraps his jaws around you, he never lets go. i

The challenge will be to find a jury of Hunter’s peers. How can they possibly find 12 | Rhodes scholars with Golden Dome experience? | Media Notes — A national television news trade publication is carrying a WCAX-TV clas- * sified ad for a new news anchor “who will com- ! plement male weather and sports anchors.” No, § not a replacement for Marselis Parsons — he’s | there for life. Rather, W GOP is trolling for a | replacement for morning news anchor Sera Congi. Congi referred our inquiry to Parsons, I who confirmed Sera has had it with rising at 3 f a.m. “She’s a damn good reporter,” says Parsons. | Fact is, she’d rather be a reporter than just another pretty face on the anchor desk reading 8 the teleprompter. Speaking of pretty faces, Tiffany Eddy, the § rookie news anchor at WVNY, the local ABC | affiliate, is getting great reviews. Many say Ms. g Eddy’s got the best delivery and presence in town, despite anchoring the newscast that con- 1 sistently finishes dead last in the ratings. Bernie Watch — Due to a recent unfortunate g run-in with Lady Gravity, yours truly spent last » week in a reclining position. On Wednesday and Thursday afternoons C-Span tunred into i the Bernie Sanders hour. OF Bernardo was one | of the designated spear-carriers in the floor debate. His amendment proposed chopping 5 I percent out of the estmated $30 billion postCold War “intelligence” budget. I Great debate. Rep. Charles Bass | (R-New Hamp-shire) opposed | it. Called it “not responsible leg islating.” Bernie’s baby got 140 votes and lost. The next day’s Sanders amendment proposed adding $19 million for payment in lieu of taxes to municipalities choked with federal lands. This time not only Bass but Rep. John Summit, too, rose^i sup port of our favorite socialist. “I thank my colleague from Vermont for the excellent work he’s done on the amendment,” said the son of Mr. Crossfire.” Media Notes — Over in radio land this week, the buzzjs over I the birth of a new all-classical music station, WCVT at 101.7 FM. VPR once cornered the classical audience, but things ' change. Today VPR is much more of a news station, from “Morning Edition” to “Switch board.” Still, VPR head honcho Mark Vogelzang concedes, “Some people will find [WCVT] a very attractive alternative to VPR.” I Back on the boob tube, meanwhile, WCAX 1 and the Rutland Herald have struck a mutual admiration society-type agreement. You may have caught the Heralds Sunday writer, John Dillon, on Ch. 3’s Friday newscast plugging his upcoming story on non-point source pollution in Lake Champlain. Why not a link-up with The Burlington Free Press! “Because the Rutland Herald is the best newspaper in the state,” replied Marselis. But congratulations are in order. It seems everyone in the media is aware that the Freeps pulled in a plateful of awards a couple months i back in this year’s Gannett competition. The less than well-regarded newspaper chain dubbed 1 our local daily “most improved,” and Jennifer | Carroll won for “best editor.” But there was no g victory announcement in the Freeps. The CW » is they held off on publicizing their awards because readers would have laughed out loud. I The Freeps may be “most improved” in the eyes | of the Martians down at corporate headquarters g in Virginia, but for folks in Vermont, the “improvement” has been nigh impossible to detect. (Z)

It was a dramatic week for the National

Endowment for the Arts, and for the Republican congressman from Piattsburgh whose vote ‘'shut the door oft any discussion of salvaging its federal appropriation. In a rare moment of arm twisting in the debate... the leadership persuaded Rep. John M cHugh to change his vote in the final seconds of considera tion,” the Washington Port reported last Friday. It made him the man of the moment in right-wing Republican circles, but McHugh says he broke the tie because it brought forth an alter nate plan that would replace the federal arts agency with state block grants for “community-based arts programs.” The plan was trounced the next day. “W hat I strongly object to, and have always objected to, is a bureaucracy that... is wasteful and ineffi cient and totally ignores rural America,” McHugh says, adding that he thinks block grants would lead to a more efficient and equitable distribution of federal arts dollars. “In Washington, people have probably heard very little about Clinton County. But they have heard a lot about the New York City Ballet. So what choice are they going to make?” Now McHugh, who does support federal funding of art that is not “pornographic,” is facing a bigger dilemma: how to vote on the larger Interior appropriations bill, which includes no funding for the N.EJV. Arts advocates are recommending a “no” vote. As of Monday night, McHugh was leaning in the right, er left, direction.

Church Street, between news of the untimely death o f Richard “The Clarinet Man” Haupt and allegations the Marketplace is trying to “shut down” the Great Rondini. The escape artist has not worked the last two weekends because his permit expired at the end of May. He may have to get insurance and shorten his show before he gets a new one. The Marketplace limits performances to one hour per location, no doubt to discourage unpopular serenaders. Hope he finds a way out o f this one .

broadcast rights on Mount Mansfield raises concerns about radiation, fair business and the "public trust”

By John D H I o n ere’s a made-for-TV movie: Rival businessmen battle for prime real estate. One of them charges his competitor with conflict of interest. Millions of dollars are up for grabs as legislators, lobbyists, even the governor, enter the fray. This king-of-the-hill fight to control the right to broadcast television signals from Mt. Mansfield, Vermont’s highest peak, is a saga with multiple plot twists and a storyline that dates back 138 years. The play ers are television executives, politicians and the University of Vermont — the mountaintop’s reluctant landlord. The o u t-' come will affect everybody who watches television, hikes Mansfield’s trails, or simply enjoys looking at the moun tain’s many moods. Although advertising revenue and network TV rights are involved, this is more than a business dispute. Also at issue are: • Whether television companies should be allowed to put more towers on the mountain; • Whether there is a stacked deci sion-making process that stymied one broadcast competitor; • Whether UVM has ignored the intent of 1839 deeds that appear to limit development on Mt. Mansfield; • How best to limit microwave radiation that could threaten hikers. Mansfield’s commanding height makes it the most covet ed spot in Vermont for TV broadcasters. The advent of dig ital television, with its promise

of high-resolution pictures, has intensified the pressure. Television companies now want to build two new, 200foot steel towers for the digital antennae. The new towers would be triangle-shaped at the base, 25 feet wide per side, and will be anchored deep into the mountain — a construction job that will require blasting of the bedrock. The towers will be considerably more massive than the existing structures. When coated with ice in the winter, they will be visible from at least 20 miles away, according to a

clearer. consultant’s study. Broadcast signals pose safety issues as well. About 30,000 people hike or drive to the peak each year. Most don’t know that as they walk by one of the antennae, they absorb high lev els of microwave radiation. A popular Mansfield hiking trail was closed earlier this summer

to protect hikers from getting zapped. Environmentalists are already lining up to oppose the tower proposal. Mt. Mansfield is one of the most ecologically sensitive areas in the state, > home to eight rare and threat ened plant species, unique alpine bogs and the rare Bicknell’s thrush. In its starkest form, the conflict could be framed as entertainment versus aesthetics, mind-numbing tele vision versus awe-inspiring beauty. The question for some is whether it is worth corrupt ing a state landmark just so “Seinfeld” comes in clearer. “It’s safe to say our goal would be to ultimately have as few communication towers as possible,” said Dennis Shaffer, executive director of the Green Mountain Club, which main tains the Massachusetts-toCanada footpath that traverses the mountain’s ridge. “We view [Mansfield] as a pretty sacred place, but it’s from an aesthetic and environmental perspective.” The Mansfield story also calls into question the land stewardship record of the University of Vermont, which acquired 400 acres on the mountaintop in 1859 under a pair of deeds thafr-limits its use to solely “scientific purposes.” Yet UVM has for years rented the ridge to television stations and government agencies. Some 40 other users — radio stations, paging firms and cellular phone companies — also sublease space on the mountaintop towers. University officials say they have struggled to balance their responsibility under the deeds

sm u

with their legal obligations under the long-term leases. But others say the university has ducked the issue. “There’s never been a policy based on the original deeds,” said UVM professor Carl r Reidel, the former head of the school’s Environmental Studies program. “The question I have is, should we be doing any more development up there? Because those people [who deeded the property] had a very clear idea about what they wanted done with that land.” As the broadcast world shifts from using old analog sig nals to digital, the companies want two sets of towers on Mt. Mansfield. Shaffer has asked the TV broadcasters for a promise to remove their old towers once the seven-to-15-year transition period is through. They would not agree, he said. The reason is that television frequencies-are like real estate. After the sta tions complete the move to their newly assigned digital fre quencies, the old analog chan nels can be re-sold for more digital uses, Shaffer said. “So on the one hand they’re saying maybe the [old] towers could come down, but they’re also saying this is room for additional expansion,” Shaffer said. ansfield is a peak with personality, or at least a face. In the mountains horizontal profile, people have described a nose, chin and fore head. There’s even a “Teardrop” ski trail that slides down the fall line on the west side. O n the nose area of the

ridgeline, a space-age array of towers and antennae now rises from the bare rock and tundra. In 1954, WCAX-TV installed its first tower and antenna on the site. Fourteen years later, Vermont ETV constructed a tower and building nearby. Below the nose, where a cliff drops 140 feet, the Channel 22 tower and antenna rise 320 feet into the air. A short distance to the north, the Vermont state police have maintained a tower and communications building since 1947. Development in the nose area is overseen by a “co-loca tion association,” a partnership of three television stations, the state of Vermont, UVM and the Mt. Mansfield Co., which owns the Stowe ski resort and about 10 acres of the 28-acre “co-location” area on the ridge. Although the association decides policy for public land, it conducts its business in secret. WCAX Executive Vice President and association Chairman Peter Martin — whose station has long champi oned the news media’s right to know — said the organization is a private partnership and not subject to the state open-meet ings law. A WCAX competitor, meanwhile, has charged that Martin and the association has refused to let him attend meet ings and has stymied his plans to develop a new tower on the mountain. The association was formed in 1980 after the Environmental Board, which enforces the Act 250 land use law, said the C ontinued on page 13

(Sudden Shame, CD) — Despite their misleadingly sac charine monicker, Burlington’s My Own Sweet takes a rather more aggressive ta & ih a iu ts .^ ;. predecessor units, huffy and Madelines. Though still smitten by the sonic psychology o f a sorta boomy bass and jangly, needle-nosed guitar lines, the six-song EP Neu> Strings, recorded at Joe Egan’s Eclipse Studio, is a rockin’ thing. It’s enough to restore my faith in the shoegazer-influenced. The appealing, permanently pained voice of Tim L auben—_who also puts guitar to good use — suits his alternately cynical and lachrymose lyri cal bent. He and Chris Kelly lean into the gale o f their dual guitar attack — I vote for “The Graduate” as the best example here o f their teamwork, and the whompin’ tide cut as second. But the closer, “Pills (for faster living)” is gleeful, punkified dambursting rock ’n’ roll. And I like it.

in five years previously,” he said. But Nichols’ original plan seemed like an elegant solution to a problem that has vexed one public broadcaster on the mountain: excessive microwave radiation that could endanger hikers. Vermont Public Radio’s transmitters are mounted on a tower owned by Vermont ETV. But VPR’s barrel-shaped trans mitters are low to the ground,

and thus the microwave energy they emit hits people standing nearby. Nichols and W PTZ pro posed building a new, taller tower for ETV, which also would have accommodated VPR. That plan, however, fell apart in December, when Nichols said he couldn’t wait any longer for the co-location association to act and decided to move the transmitter to Terry Mountain instead. “We were absolutely stymied in get ting our application through,” said Nichols.

Channel 44 still wants to be on Mansfield, since the signal will not reach past the Green Mountains from the New York site. Martin said the association has included Nichols’ proposal in its planning. “From the very start we have said we will plan to accommodate Channel 44,” he said. In the meantime, the radia tion danger remains for hikers. The Federal Communication Commission has lowered the threshold for exposure to microwave radiation from broadcast antennae. Under the new standards, the FCC says hikers walking the “Triangle Trail” on the nose near the ETV tower should not stand still for longer than a few min utes. As a temporary measure, VPR considered posting signs along the trail warning hikers v not to loiter. But Gov. Howard Dean objected to that plan, telling VPR and the Green Mountain Club that the warning signs would be bad publicity for the state. Instead of the signs, the GM C closed the Triangle Trail this summer to keep hikers away. VPR, meanwhile, is nego tiating with Channel 22 to move its antenna to the televi sion station’s tower, located below the nose. The move would solve the radiation expo sure problem, since the antenna C ontinued on page 14

t’s that time again at Ver mont Public Radio. You can’t dial up your daily dose of Dvorzak without being irritated by the jangle of ringing phones, seemingly endless patter about $70 designer mugs and $380,000 National Public Radio dues, and gushing remarks about all things bright and beautiful the station has brought to Vermont in the past two decades. VPR celebrates its 20th birthday this year. Since its first broadcast on August 13, 1977 — a reissue of Peter Sellers’ “Goon Show” followed by a classic episode of “The Lone Ranger” and Peter Fox Smith’s first “Saturday Afternoon at the Opera” — VPR has grown from a funky, fledgling up-start to what many now consider the single most important media outlet in Vermont. VPR has reason to be proud. For starters, the fact that it exists at all flies in the face of expert predictions. Betty Smith, who was VPR’s first full-time payed employee, likes to tell the story of the flatlander from the Corporation for Public Broad casting who, back in 1975, said Vermont was too rural to sup port public radio. “He said, ‘All you’ve got is cows and chip munks, ” Smith chuckles. “The fact that we have a lot of open space doesn’t mean we have open space between our ears.” Bill Schubart, who joined VPR’s Board of Directors this year, describes the station’s progress in terms of a typical business cycle. “It takes a high-risk entre preneurial spirit to start,” he says. “Then when it grows and becomes successful it requires someone who can build con sensus, knows the market, can handle people.” If founding general manager Ray Dilley provided VPR’s spark and kin dling, Mark Vogelzang, who took the helm four years ago, has ably tended its flame. And VPR isn’t merely get ting by, either. It’s flourishing. Arbitron figures suggest that in any given week, an estimated 130,000 — one in four Vermonters — tune in to VPR, giving it one of the highest per capita listening rates of any public radio station in the country. The station also enjoys solid financial support from its listeners. Eight years ago, according to Development Manager Robin Turnau, the station raised $150,000 in

is as tough as it gets.” The results have been so successful that, today, transi tions from home-grown news programing to national broad casting are nearly seamless. But slick has its downside — some listeners now complain that the station sounds indistinguishable

The capital campaign paid for the Vermont Public Radio Center at Ethan Allen, which opened two years ago. The facility represents a critical turning point in VPR’s recent history. Its state-of-the-art stu dios have meant more live per formances by area musicians and visitors to the state. More significantly, it has enabled the station to produce high-quality news features for local broad cast and feeders for National Public Radios Morning Edition. VPR news producer Steve Young was one o f six local news producers nationwide chosen to go through 10 months of training with NPR. “It was a terribly humbling experience,” says Young. “NPR

VPR Continued from page 15 minute discussion and talk show, recently expanded to three nights a week, is now considered “the most important political forum in the state,” according to Schubart. But the major emphasis has gone into Steve Youngs “Impact Series,” multi-segment mini-documentaries explor ing different aspects of a single issue, like welfare reform, life in winter, and life on either side of the Canadian border. The series airs about every six weeks. The decision to concen trate on occasional, indepth reporting rather than breaking news was based on several factors. One, according to Broadcasting Director Mike Crane, was the need to find an open audience niche. “We think [in-depth coverage] is what people come to public radio for,” he explains. Another factor was geography. “In big cities you might have to make choices between 20 stories on a given day,” Crane reasons. “In a small community, you might have to look for the break ing news.” The station didn’t want to “get into the trap of hav ing to fill a news hole every day,” Young adds. A third factor, he says, was cost. “News is very expensive. NPR estimates that is costs $100 a minute to produce their news. The station doesn’t have that kind of money.” Rounding out VPR’s local news coverage is the “Commentary” series, the station’s longest-running and, in recent months, most controversial public affairs program. Betty Smith began producing original, regional essays in 1988 with “Country Time,” Janet Greene’s daily musings on rural living. Over the years, contribu tors have included Vermont author Tim Brookes and former governor Madeline Kunin. The current line-up is a mixture of culture and politics, including spooky storyteller Joe Citro, Vermont Life editor Tom Slayton, 12-year-old Alia Stavrand Woolf, Businesses For Social Responsibility co-founder Peg Devlyn, and libertarian John McClaughry. But the com mentator listeners are talk ing about — and contact ing the station to voice their strenuous objections to — is Susan Sweetser. VPR invited the

Republican former State Senator and would-be U.S. Representative to share her perspective with the radio audience “to balance the overwhelming number of Democrats in the legisla ture this session,” Vogelzang explains. But one person’s balance is another person’s bias. Democratic State Senator Dick McCormack, who gave up his VPR folk show

'"VPR has acquired a "burnished, ersatz beltway voice. Does VPR stand for the real Vermont, or are they imparting an outsiders sensibility?" - Ron Powers, media critic when he announced his candidacy for re-election last July, says he wishes the commentary series included a progressive or liberal voice. “The station has fall en into the same trap as the rest of the country, where the right-wing has been allowed to define the left,” he says. In the past 10 weeks, six Sweetser commentaries have aired. They have dealt with topics such as proper ty tax reform, campaign finance reform, drunk dri ving legislation, and an overview of the entire leg islative session. The tenor of her writing and the tone her delivery has been spirit ed and spoiling-for-a-fight. In a June 5 commentary entitled, “Can We Afford the 1997 Legislature?” Sweetser — whom one caller labeled “the Mona Charen of the airwaves” — remarks on a House bill holding town governments to binding arbitration with local unions, saying, “I sup pose the House Democrats were just paying the Unions back for all the help they gave the Dems in the last election.” Listener reaction from across the state has been unfavorable by more than 10-to-one. And though no one has done an actual fis cal analysis of Sweetser’s broadcasts, the decision to go with her may have cost_ the station some donations. As one would-be donor reports, “I was about to write you a check... but having heard Sweetser’s... smarmy, unctuous com mentary, it stopped me Continued on page 17 j u 1y

SEVEN DAYS

“Rural Rhythms” was canceled she “felt a lot of anger at the station. But now, she feels, things are different. “I think the station has come a long way. If people say ‘I’m not a member because they don’t listen to us,’ that’s just not true.” During its short tenure, the CAB has encouraged the sta tion to adopt a more locally oriented flavor. To fill the sta tion’s Sunday afternoon folk music slot, the CAB’s Folk Committee listened to demo tapes from about 30 aspiring hosts, and selected Robert Resnik’s “All the Traditions.” For Resnik, who premiered on VPR last October, one of the greatest challenges of his new job has been trying to sat isfy listeners’ conflicting expec tations. Though he remains “open to suggestions,” Resnik has to be careful not to get pulled in too many directions. “If you’re painting a house and you make the walls blue and the trim pink and the shutters green and the door brown, you end up with an eye-sore,” he remarks. The same might be said for the station as a whole. Besides listening to the CAB, soliciting donors’ reactions during pledge drives and tracking comments

that flood the station, Vogelzang goes on the air live a few times a year on “Dialogue,” a call-in show about the station. On one recent program, a caller from White River Junction sug gested the station change its name to “Vermont Prattle Radio” because of all its “cere bration.” Other listeners asked for more talk, suggesting “Talk of the Nation,” a topical call-in show, and “Selected Shorts,” a prose performance program. The ideal solution, Vogelzang feels, would be to have two statewide stations— one to concentrate on talk, the other on music. For now, listeners fortunate enough to live in areas covered by more than one public radio signal can create their own pro gram mixes by station-hopping. And many do. Ellen Rocco, General Manager of St. Law rence University’s North Country Public Radio, says she hears from lots of Vermonters. “Some say they listen to us, rather than to VPR, but many say they listen — and contribute — to both.” Listeners west of the Green Mountains who crave more talk can turn to WAMC, the North east Public Radio Network out of Albany. On the other side of the state, plans are underway for an all-classical public station jointly owned by VPR and New Hampshire Public Radio. And,

since July l^ d W e $ L s m s ic mavens in Chittenden, Lamoille and most o f Washington County have been able to tune into W CVT — W DEV owner Ken Squier’s new all-classical com mercial station at 101.7 on the FM dial. “The lines between public and commercial broadcast are blurring very deeply,” Schubart observes. W ith fresh competi tion among radio stations and from a plethora of emerging media formats, “VPR has to be intensely tied to its market and able to differentiate itself,” he says. “The future is going to be more Vermont-relevant and more regional-relevant. I think they’ve done an incredible job of staying with their market.” Tom Streeter, who teaches about media at UVM, notes that the political climate around public media also makes life difficult for stations like VPR. “There are people in Washington right now who’d like to see public radio shut down, and it’s not just a couple kooks down there. VPR and other stations should be com mended for maintaining a strong presence in the face of virulent attack on everything they stand for,” he says. “VPR is an incredible resource, an important resource,” Powers adds. “For all its flaws, it’s the best we have.” ®

In England you needed royal permission to own such a weathervane, so non-nobles were left to rely on a wet finger to determine which way the wind was blowing. But when the first settlers came to America, they flaunted their freedom from the English class system by defiantly mounting weathervanes on top of barns and important buildings — one of America’s most famed examples is a gilded grasshop per placed on top of Boston’s Faneuil Hall in 1742. While the weathervane became the wind indicator of choice for both farmers and sea-faring men, in the mid-19th century American manufac turers began to massproduce them. Using a pattern carved in wood, weathervanes were created from sheet copper hammered into the forms, which were then soldered together. Popular shapes included farm animals, racing horses and mythological fig ures, and several Boston-based companies customized weather vanes according to a buyer’s fancy. Despite their popularity — or rather, because of it — folkart connoisseurs began to con fiscate weathervanes from roof tops early in this century. Those left swinging in the breeze did not go unmolested, says Burks; many served as targets for bored or amateur gunmen. Fortunately, some weather vanes were salvaged by muse ums such as the Shelburne.

By Rachel Esch ook atop the leaning barns strewn throughout our Green Mountain State and you might catch a glimpse of one of the hottest items on the antique metal market: weathervanes. Just as likely, you’ll find weathervanes standing station ary — no longer subject to the whims of wind — in an antique shop or museum. The often fanciful objects are now icons of an era before we had an “Eye on the Sky” guy to translate shifting air currents into changes in the weather. According to Jean Burks, Curator of Decorative Art$ at the Shelburne Museum, weathervanes originated from the days when English nobility used flags as a form of identifi cation. “Noble families had a ban ner with a coat of arms that they would fly from their cas tle rooftops or carry into bat tle,” she says. “They [func tioned] sort of like a medieval license plate.” Eventually flags were replaced by cast and wrought forms made of zinc, copper and wood that were mounted on swiveling posts (to keep them from being blown down by a blustery breeze). According to Burks, some art historians speculate that these wind indicators were used by archers to determine where to aim their arrows.

Among its collection of 130, the Shelburne boasts a copper pig (pictured) and cast- and sheet-iron rooster, dating from the mid- to late-19th century. According to Williston auc- ( tioneer and appraiser Duane Merrill, sheet-iron weather vanes in good condition will fetch $2000 on the market; full-body copper vanes, up to $4000; and one-of-a-kind spec imens, as much as $100,000. Weathervanes comprise but a fraction of formerly practical metal objects; the Shelburne houses over 5000 items made of iron, copper, tin and alloys

like brass, bronze and pewter. “I always laugh when people say I am a curator of ‘Decorative Arts,”’ says Burks, “when I am actually the cura tor of things that were used. To me it’s all wonderful, func tional stuff.” Indeed, the collection exem plifies how prevalent metal work was in early American homes: door hinges and latches, kitchen items, tools, pewterware, toys, candlesticks and lighting fixtures. The appeal of these items to collectors now is how much a part of history they were, according to Burks — whether or not in vane.

Vermont's politics on skinny-dipping? Look the other way

Bv Davi d

Heal v

day after closing on a new home on the Sugarbush access road, Krista Georges and Steve wanted to take a swim in the Mad River before setting out on the three-and-a-half-hour

Georges says. “And I said,” Cooks adds on cue, “‘He doesn’t!”’ “Welcome to Vermont, I guess,” Georges concludes. Cook Attracted to the skiing, the couple hadn’t realized that the Green Mountain State is also a skinny-dipping mecca.

is rumored to have been a notso-skinny skinny-dipper when in the state. Even Norman Rockwell couldn’t ignore the practice, and captured it in his paintings of Vermont life. More recently, Sen. Patrick Leahy — during his tenure as Chittenden County State’s Attorney in the early ’70’s — issued a ^ tongue-in-cheek 5O memorandum to " local law-enforce>j ment agencies 5 regarding the “time* honored practice of O unclothed swimS ming.” On z a serious note in the memo, Leahy essen tially directs the police to concen trate on other crimi nal matters, unless nudity occurs in a public area — like

ming or hiking nude, either. “We want to educate society to accept the body as something wholesome and healthy,” he says. Unabashed nudity — complete with mastectomies and pot bellies — tends to demystify the body and reduce lust, Cunningham asserts, adding that naturists do not support strip-club nudity. “The best antidote to pornography is nudism,” he claims. While Naturist Life International has 2000 active members, countless others skinny-dip more or less on the sly at secluded locations, or at night, with as little philosophy as clothing. “It just feels good,” one visitor to the Waitsfield swimming hole puts it. Cunningham himself, who’s legally blind, wouldn’t dispute that sentiment. A devoted skinny-dipper, he once tried to skirt the problem of Vermont’s

HANGING OUT

A nudist bonds with nature near Troy, Vermont.

drive home to Massachusetts. Noticing a few dozen cars parked in a meadow just off Route 100 in Waitsfield, the couple decided to check out the local swimming hole. Unlike with the real estate deal, the Newburyport natives prob ably got a little more than they bargained for. “I didn’t have my glasses on, so I said to Steve, ‘It looks like he doesn’t have any suit on, it must be flesh-colored,’”

“It’s partly tradition, partly the environment and partly that Vermont has a social con tingent that is other’-minded,” says Jim Cunningham, the founder of a Troy-based nudist group called Naturist Life International. Indeed, Vermonters have long exhibited their indepen dence and inclination to the practical by choosing to get undressed to get wet. President Calvin Coolidge of Plymouth

North Beach in Burlington — or the public has been offended. Law enforce ment officials, like the public at large, have been content to adopt Leahy’s prescribed live-andlet-live guidelines. Even in Shelburne, which last year passed a Club Fantasy-inspired pub lic indecency ordinance, the police tend to turn a blind eye to a known nudist beach on the lake. “We don’t go there to rouse people out,” admits one officer, “but if people are run ning around naked in a neigh borhood, that’s a different story.” Naturists, according to Cunningham, are not exhibi tionists, but they dtmc neces sarily shy away frora£ticountertng the public while swim'*

relatively short outdoor season by asking the Burlington YMCA to rent him their pool for a nude swimming hour during the winter months. The request was deemed “inappro priate” and denied. Referring to our bare-bottomed entry into the world, naturists like Cunningham have a dress code and defini tion of “appropriate” all their own. “I believe we shouldn’t need a reason to get naked,” he says, “but one for when we should get dressed.” Never-' theless, Cunningham is willing to follow society’s definition of propriety while in public places, yet gawkers near nude beaches are often less charita ble. For this reason, many nud ists pay to visit private parks — like the Forest City Lodge in Milton. Down at the Waitsfield “free site,” known locally as the Punchbowl, a wood sign at the top of the stairs leading to the

water lists the rules: “No Fires, No Glass, No Trash, No Swim Suits, No Lewd Behavior.” In the cradle of the bowl, a crowd of mostly male sunbathers dots the rocks while two families with young children spread out on the shoreline and play in the water. Beach chairs, sand buckets, inner tubes and moth er-in-laws are all in evidence. Bathing suits are not. The idea of exposing chil dren to nudity — and poten tial pedophiles — is controver sial, yet naturists argue that most young children prefer their “birthday suits,” and that nudism can be an innocent and wholesome family activity. Fred, a young Burlington pro fessional visiting the Punch bowl with his family for the first time, agrees. “Frankly, I think it’s a real positive influ ence on the kids,” he says. “The thing that’s important is that if they show any signs they’re uncomfortable, or any thing, you go with it.” Local regulars say they self-police the area to maintain the right atmosphere, noting that lewd or lascivious behavior is rare. Waitsfield’s Deputy County Sheriff, John Southwick, con firms the lack of problems, and says skinny-dipping in the Mad River is really a non-issue for him. “Waitsfield does not have a skinny-dipping ordi nance, and the Punchbowl is private property,” he says. Neighbors Dick and Audrey Stauffer also have no real com plaints and maintain their sense of humor. “We’ve seen people out here picnicking and barbecuing without anything on, which I think is danger ous,” Audrey Stauffer says with a laugh. “But I just feel that I’m sharing [the Punchbowl] with people with a different lifestyle.” Next door in the meadow, a few cars mosdy with out-ofstate plates pull up, survey that lifestyle, and then leave, pre sumably having seen enough. Others, like Georges and Cook, throw caution — and

he World Wide Web. The Internet. Which is it? And what’s the difference, any way? Just so you know: The Internet is a whole bunch of computers that talk to each other, and agree on how to find each other and get a message from one computer to another. Its sort of like the phone system: When you want to talk to some telephone in California — or Nepal, for that matter — a lot of magic happens and suddenly the sounds you make on your telephone come out of the phone you dialed. Pretty cool, if you think about it. Not all computers that talk to each other are on the Ittfernet. Just as you can have an office telephone system that’s not connected to any out side lines, you can have a bunch of computers talking to each other that aren’t connected to the Internet. But that’s pretty boring. So what do all those com puters on the Internet talk about? They send e-mail. They send each other things called news groups — which are pret ty much like bulletin boards. But mostly, nowadays, they send each other Web pages. So what’s a Web page? It’s just a page of information, like a magazine page, a leaflet, a cat alog or, well, pretty much any thing’you can put on a printed page (and sometimes things you can’t). Two things make it magical: You, sitting at your computer, can look at any Web page anybody has posted any where in the world. That’s, what makes it “World W ide.” And you can click on a word or pic ture and you’ll see whatever other Web page its maker wants you to see. That’s what makes it the “Web”: Every page is con nected to other pages, which are connected to other pages, and so on. And that’s what all the hype is about. So let’s take a peek behind the hype. For starters, if you think you can get the col lected wisdom of the ages off the Web, think again. It’s no exaggeration to say that the Web is incomplete, unreliable and badly organized. If you’ve spent more than two minutes “surfing,” you already know that, but neophytes can get the bad news from us. Actually, that disorganiza tion makes sense if you think

is not, in fact,

hundreds on the Web ourselves. People put up Web pages for all sorts of reasons: because they’re really interested in something and they want to share their knowledge (that used to be the main reason); because some body paid them to (that’s usual ly the reason now); or because they know they’ve found the answer and they want to make sure everyone else hears about it (that’s what gives the Web a bad name). The only Web pages in existence are about stuff that people decide to make Web pages about; if nobody has so far felt like mak ing a Web page about some thing, it doesn’t exist. It’s incomplete, all right: Since the Internet is used by lots of computer geeks, pages about computer and the Internet itself abound. You’ll find lots of pages about travel, food, dogs and cats, too. But when you search for your par ticular area of interest — we’ll talk more about searching another time — you may come up with nothing. Before you waste all night searching for something, consider the possi bility that it is not, in fact, there. If so, you may have found your big chance to make an impact, however obscure, on the Web.

Which brings us to another shortcoming of the Web: It’s not authoritative. Since almost anyone can put on pages — and it’s beginning to feel like almost everyone has — you can’t always trust what you find. If you find a page saying that a particular product is a panacea — or stinks — take either with a grain of salt. Look around at various sites before drawing any conclusions. In many ways, the Web is like a bulletin board down at the local food coop, or even like stuff written on a bath room wall. Who knows who wrote it? If the site is named www.ibm.com, you have a good idea. But what about a site called net.gurus.com, or www.greattapes.com? Are they kooks, soreheads, 12-year-olds? All three? As for the badly organized part, let’s just say that genera tions of librarians and indexers have learned something about organizing information. And most of what they have learned has been roundly ignored by the folks who put pages up on the Web. The Web has nothing like browsing the stacks in a bookstore or library, or looking over the newsstand for just the right magazine. The recom mendations of the people who put together the Web page you’re looking at may get you to what you’re interested in, bui they may not. How do you find what you’re looking for on the Web? We’ll write more another time, but our two favorite places to start searching the Web are Yahoo (www.yahoo.com) and AltaVista (altavista.digital.com) Yahoo provides a table of con tents for the Web. Choose a topic heading, look at the list of subtopics that appears, and keep narrowing your focus until you find what you want. AltaVista lets you type in a word or phrase to search for. Be sure to type in as many words as you can think of, to narrow your search, or you’ll get a list of thousands of pages that might contain the information you want. Tip: Precede each word with a plus sign (+)>[j0 tell AltaVista that you want to see only Web pages that defi nitely contain the word. ® Margaret Levine Young and Jordan Young write and teach about computers and the Interne in Middlebury, Vermont.

and it is without doubt a sweet, worthwhile story. Anyone readin reviews its getting, or witnessing entertainment media hoopla sur-

and “having ideas,” but if Contact BY THE NUMBERS Fosters new film ventures to the looks to anyone like heady provocaedge o f the universe, but never stays fa r from tive cinema, its probably because the Hollywood formula. only movies they ve seen lately were $ p L i2 M G < L fM n . Foster stars in this adaptation of the 1985 Carl Sagan bestseller as a determined government radio astronomer whose funding is cut off by a bureaucratic hard-ass (Tom Skerritt), successfully seeks investment from the private sector, and then is the first to pick up strange transmissions from a nearby star. In this regard, the story’s fairly routine Hollywood business about a spunky, passionate young woman standing up to cranky, middle-aged authority figures and eventually triumphing over the sys tem. And just to make.sure we know what kind of story we’re dealing with, the movie’s makers even threw in James Woods as a meddling White House hard-ass. Not much new here. On the hoy-girl front, there’s a mild-mannered, on-again, off-again thing between Foster and Matthew McConaughey who plays an inexplicably well-connected author who’s penned a hook on the subject of religious faith. I thought it was distractingly odd that, once the signals had been received and the highest levels of government had begun to butt into Foster’s business, this guy was always breezing in and out of the Oval Office. Oprah’s office is more like it. Anyway, the love story is pretty standard fare. Then there’s the hugely complex effort to decipher the extraterrestrial messages, build a transport device described in the communique and select the per son who will make the trip. Spielberg handled all this more memorably exactly 20 years ago this summer. That leaves the meat of the movie: Foster’s close encounter and the questions it brings to a head ween people. As otherworldly confabs go, this one’s with generous helpings of lifted 2001 imagery, loes indeed send one out of the theater chinking about Nonetheless, it must be said that losaurs, or how that blue make-up made Arnold look just how cosmically little humans really do know.
